Song of Solomon 2:8-13

8The voice of my beloved!
  Look, he comes,
 leaping upon the mountains,
  bounding over the hills.
9My beloved is like a gazelle
  or a young stag.
 Look, there he stands
  behind our wall,
 gazing in at the windows,
  looking through the lattice.
10My beloved speaks and says to me:
 “Arise, my love, my fair one,
  and come away;
11for now the winter is past,
  the rain is over and gone.
12The flowers appear on the earth;
  the time of singing has come,
 and the voice of the turtledove
  is heard in our land.
13The fig tree puts forth its figs,
  and the vines are in blossom;
  they give forth fragrance.
 Arise, my love, my fair one,
  and come away.”

Psalm 45:1-2, 6-9

1My heart is stirring with a noble song; let me recite what I have fashioned | for the king;
  my tongue shall be the pen of a | skillful writer.
2You are the noblest a- | mong the people;
  grace flows from your lips, because God has blessed | you forever. 
6Your throne, O God, endures forev- | er and ever,
  a scepter of righteousness is the scepter | of your kingdom.
7You love righteousness and | hate iniquity;
  therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above | your companions.
8All your garments are fragrant with myrrh, al- | oes, and cassia,
  and the music of strings from ivory palaces | makes you glad.
9Kings’ daughters stand among the ladies | of the court;
  on your right hand is the queen, adorned with the | gold of Ophir. 

Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23

1Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around [Jesus], 2they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. 3(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; 4and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) 5So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” 6He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written,
 ‘This people honors me with their lips,
  but their hearts are far from me;
7in vain do they worship me,
  teaching human precepts as doctrines.’
8You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.”
 14Then he called the crowd again and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand: 15there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile.”
 21For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, 22adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. 23All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
